(1) One-third of all rental expense is deemed to be interest.

For the purpose of computing these ratios, (i) “earnings” consists of the sum of pre-tax income from continuing operations before adjustment for non-controlling interests in our consolidated subsidiaries or income or loss from equity investees; fixed charges; amortization of capitalized interest; and distributed income of equity investees; and (ii) “fixed charges” consists of the sum of interest expense (which includes amortization of premiums, discounts, and capitalized expenses related to debt issue costs, when applicable); capitalized interest; and one-third of rental expense which we believe to be a reasonable estimate of an interest factor in our leases.
